RPD

The RPD in Modern Warfare 2 handles very similarly to it's Modern Warfare 1 equivalent. A notable difference is that the ACOG no longer sways and that there is a rail added which is not seen on the Call of Duty 4 RPD and in real life.With the introduction of Bling, the RPD becomes even more powerful as other attachments can be used along with the pretty much mandatory Grip. An interesting option is to use the RPD as a long range sniper rifle by adding two attachments: the Grip and the Thermal Scope or ACOG. Using short bursts or even single shot firing combined with the power and range of the RPD, it works quite well in this function, though short range fights will still rely on the RPD's somewhat inaccurate hip firing.
